Wisdom Lane Math-A-Thon for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

January 06, 2017

Wisdom Lane Middle School has one again participated in a Math-A-Thon for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Laura Koenig, 6th grade teacher at Wisdom Lane, is pleased to announce the results of this year's event. A group of sixth graders raised over $1,200 for St. Judes. The students sharpened their math skills while helping children with serious illnesses. This is Wisdom's 28th year being involved with this amazing hospital. Over the years, Wisdom's students have raised over $124,000,000 by doing math problems and getting family and friends to sponsor them.

Wisdom's participation in Math-A-Thon helps make it possible for St. Jude to treat patients regardless of a family's ability to pay. In addition to the money raised, the students learned about the importance of helping others. Mrs. Koenig is proud of this year's participants and is thankful for all the support provided by the staff at Wisdom.
